local news ond alive to the interest of the
locality in which it is printed. The editor

of which we give his first weeks work:
We have unpacked and laid twenty-six fonts of
type, set up pony cylinder press, put together
two double and two single racks, wrote and set up
every line OF type contained in this issue, set up
a stove. put in window pane and answered LOCO
questions. explained the mode of printing to as
many more since last Monday. Besides this

DONsT DO HI.

1t is said that Warden StOrdock intends
to suppress the further publication of THE
Prison MIRROR because a paragraph
slipped into the columns of recent issue
abiding to the Reed-Stordock sQuabble.
We hope that this rumor is unfOunded.
The paragraph was undoubtedly out of
place in the columns Of THE MIRROR, but
it is explained by the publishers that the
error was made without their knowledge.
being mistake of printer. But whoever
may have been responsible. the mistake
was of so little consequence that it would
not justify the Suppression of the paper,
which has been the source of SO much
pleasure to the unfortunate occupants of
the prison. 1t has been the means of fur
nishng the convicts with great deal OF
reading matter that they would not other
wise have had, and has in many ways been
a source of light and comfort to lives which
God knows are cherries enough at best.
1t is in the interest of humanity that the
Globe appeals TO the authorities of the
Saltwater prison not to suppress the pub
lication of this little paper. Paul Globe,

The Saturday Evening News. of West St.
Paul, pays the following deserved tribute
to the late Rev. RObt. Smith, for many
years at the head of the Bethel mission in
st. Paul:
The sad news of the death of Rev. Robt. Smith,
the organizer of the Bethel mission, for many
years a resident of West st. Paul, reached here
last Wednesday. Only two weeks ago a letter
from his pen appeared in the columns OF this
paper. Little did the friends of "the Chaplain
think when perusing this letter that the writer

lfe's journey and that his spirit would so soon
take fight to that country from whose bourne
no traveller returns The reverend gentleman's
life journey terminated on Get. 4, at II M, at his
home in Mount Bridges, Ontario, where he had
gone SIX months ago in search of rest and quiet
ness. Mr.. Smith was resident of ST. Paul for
thirty years, and his connection with Bethel
mission dates back from the foundation of that
mission some twenty years ago. Every one knows
that it is customary to write euogies glttering in
generalities in honor of departed ones, but in
honor of Robt. Smith such eulogy is called for

the record of his twenty years mission work

than anything we could write in his praise. 1t is
indeed mo exaggeraton 10 say that he was zone of
God's own noblemen." In his life was paltcu-

transform the human facilities from the basest
slavery to the nobility of true manhood. The

The printers OF this country ought to en-

Sam in the matter of printed envelopes.
The government furnishes these envelopes
much cheaper than they can be furnished by
the printers. The government is not in need
of the trifing profit on the envelopes. the
printers certainly are. Let the papers

The daisy held her dainty cup
To catch the dew-drops bright:
The bee had kissed the eloyeretops
And babe them all good night;
The katydid had timed her song
Among the apple boughs,
And farther stretched the shadows long
When jamie milked the cows.
The swallows fitted here and there,
The bat had left his bower,
The prinro-e, with bashful air,
Enclosed her petaled flower;
The whippoorwin his plaintivc taic
Proclaimed meath wooded boughs,
And twilight dropped her dusky vail,
While jamie MIXED the cows.

While softly in the western sky
Shine out the tranquil stars,
And while the corn-blades whisper low,
Two lovers pledge their VOWS,
Amid the twiliglit's purple glow,
While jamie mflks the COWS.
A little cottage, snug and new,
With hop-vines at the door;
The sunbeams peeping softly thro'
Lie dancing on the floor.
And when the first pale evening stars
Shiue, thro' the forrest boughs,
Young Farmer Ben, beside the bars,
Helps jamie milk the cows
